JRE MMA Show #50 with Yves Edwards

Joe Rogan (0:00)

Powerful Joe, here we go. Four, three, two.

Hello, Yves Edwards. What's going on, my friend?

Yves Edwards (0:10)

Not much, my man.

Joe Rogan (0:11)

What's that shirt? What is it, a moon smiley face?

Yves Edwards (0:14)

Yeah, graffiti in the moon.

Ah. You know me and my smiley faces.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

Yeah, people would graffiti the moon if they could get up there. That's probably the first thing you're gonna have to worry about, these virgin flights they're planning on going there.

People leaving some shit that you could see from Earth.

Yves Edwards (0:28)

You know? Pissing everywhere.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Dude, so much to talk about. So much going on.

Yves Edwards (0:32)

Yeah, there's a lot going on in the world of MMA and the world of Thug Jitsu.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Yeah, your world, MMA, even boxing. A lot of shit going on in boxing. Looks like we're gonna get Deontay Wilder on Monday, he's gonna be in here.

Yves Edwards (0:45)

Oh yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Yeah, he's saying, did you see the video on his Instagram?

He shows that it's more than 10 seconds. Yeah, it is. It's a fact. I mean, he plays the clock. As soon as Tyson Fury goes down, then it's more than 10 seconds before he gets back up.

Yves Edwards (1:00)

The only problem with that is, I mean, it's human error, right? You can't start immediately.

Joe Rogan (1:05)

Right.

Yves Edwards (1:06)

There's always that little space of time.

Joe Rogan (1:08)

Isn't there supposed to be a guy on the sideline though that starts the count?

Yves Edwards (1:11)

Yeah, right, yeah, yep.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

And then he picks it up with five, four.

Yves Edwards (1:14)

Right.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Yeah, but the problem is referees, when they're in the heat of the battle, the fucking adrenaline, their seconds, it's not like they have a stopwatch in their hand. They hit it every time a guy goes down, which why don't they have?

Yves Edwards (1:28)

Paul, it's too much to remember. We're just talking about the heat of the moment.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Boom, click.

Is that too much to remember? I mean, think about all the shit Tyson Fury has to remember.

Yves Edwards (1:40)

That's all instinct, right?

I mean, that fight, I wanted, of course, I'm rooting for Wilder, because I like big knockouts. You know what I mean? And he looked good in the first two rounds, and then he just looked like he abandoned the game plan, and he was just looking for the knockout after that.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

Well, he's got a problem.

The problem is he can knock anybody the fuck out. That's a problem.

Yves Edwards (2:05)

Anybody except that guy, except Tyson Fury.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

It seems like he almost knocked him out.

Yves Edwards (2:10)

He knocked him out, too.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

Yeah. He was out. If it wasn't, I mean, he definitely did 10

He was definitely down for 10 But here's the thing, if the referee, instead of saying eight said seven, instead of saying six said five, would have gotten up quicker. I think he probably would have. Because he's waiting for eight, nine, and then he's standing up. Because he's trying to give himself, he's an old vet. He's trying to give himself as much recovery time as he can.

Yves Edwards (2:33)

I don't know, when I watch him getting up, I look at that replay, and you see his head, like his head comes up, like he's trying to get up, and he can't. And then he just like stands up like a zombie. I think that's some gypsy shit.

That's scary.

Joe Rogan (2:47)

Well, I did not expect him to get up. I was watching the fight. Were you?

So was my uncle Wilder.

Wilder was celebrating too. The thing was like when he went down, I went, oh shit, I can't believe he knocked him out in the 12th like that. And it was the left hook going down that was the craziest. It was boom, the right hand, then bang, the left hook going down. It was so insane.

Yves Edwards (3:12)

And he walked off. It was a walk off, it was a walk off knockout.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

And he was dancing. And he was pointing to his woman in the audience, and she was saying, I love you. I love you, and he was like, the whole thing was a celebratory moment. And then the look on his face when he realized that Tyson Fury had gotten up, like what?

Yves Edwards (3:28)

Yeah. You know what that is? Remember the 80s and 90s, the Friday the 13th movie?
